When is Father's Day?
In fact, similar to Mother's Day, there's no international regulation on when Father's Day is celebrated. In Germany, however, the day traditionally falls on Ascension Day, 40 days after Easter Sunday. Other countries, including the USA, celebrate fathers on the 3rd Sunday in June.
Father's Day or Men's Day or Gentleman's Day?
Father's Day has its roots in the USA, where it was introduced in the 1910s. In Germany, the day has been celebrated since the 1930s, initially under the names "Herrentag" (Gentleman's Day) or "Männertag" (Men's Day). It wasn't until the 1950s that the term "Vatertag" (Father's Day) became common here and has been officially known as such ever since. In some regions of Germany, however, it is still referred to as "Herrentag" or "Männertag."
